Creating bespoke wedding stationery and other handcrafted loveliness

Category: Update

Was my last post really at the end of June!?! That is pretty terrible however things have been rather busy around here so I thought it was about time I gave you guys and update.

The big news is that the Bear and I bought our very first home! Yep, as of the end of July we became homeowners to the lovely little Lily Pad and we’re so delighted. We had to move out of my beloved Norwich but it’s only a 20 minute drive away, so it’s not too far, yay! Our new home even comes with a conservatory which is ideal for my studio and I even have a view of our cute garden.

With so much change going on, it’s naturally spread into other parts of our lives, especially Frog & Pencil. I have A LOT of plans for this little business however over the past several weeks they have become overwhelming and it makes my brain foggy. With autumn on our heels, it always signals a difficult time of the year for me personally which adds to the fuzziness. However, I’m keeping a check on how I’m feeling, making to do lists to keep proactive and organised and basically taking it one hop at a time. Does anyone else suffer from idea overload that kinda puts a spanner in the works? I’d love to know how you handle it, so please do comment below with any tried and tested tips, I’d really appreciate it.

One of my aims is to blog more frequently as there’s so much I want to share with you all; from commissions and styled photo shoots to tip-top wedding stationery advice and the odd personal post because it’s all about my Frog & Pencil journey after all. I’m going to set a particular day once or twice a month to upload posts full of exciting content and I’m hoping you’ll help me stick to a schedule.

In the meantime, I’ll keep you updated with how the Lily Pad progresses as we put our Frog & Bear stamp on the place.

I feel like I say this every time I write a blog post but it’s been such a long time since I last wrote a piece and I apologise. I’m finding that as my business grows, windows of time to write posts are getting smaller. I just don’t know how people do it! It’s such a shame too as I have so much to share and chat about.

The last 6 to 8 weeks have been a whirlwind at Frog & Pencil HQ and my time has been filled with lovely commissions, wedding fair prep, creating work for a two-day photo shoot, an open weekend and we’re about to take a big step in our personal life too (to be revealed soon). I do enjoy writing these posts though, so I will try harder to create content for you, even if that means making them more bite-sized.

I have a post up my sleeve that I hope to send out into the world a little later today but if you are craving some Frog & Pencil goodness then you can follow me on my social media channels. Here you can find most of my recent work and discover what’s going on behind the scenes – Instagram is particularly good for that.
